Sessions can now start in a sandbox VM by default when an option is set. The new --unsandboxed flag opts out of that and of cloud-by-default too. Setting CLAUDE_CODE_ATTACHMENTS_BY_PATH turns on the send-file tool and stops Claude Code uploading the files it sends you. On self-hosted runners, all session traffic can now go through a proxy you run. Admins get a beta selfHosted section in managed settings for self-hosted session hosts. A new codeAllowedRepositories setting lists the git repositories Claude Code may work in on those hosts.
Claude Code is now listed as a reader of organization-managed settings, but those settings are not served to it yet. Organization config also gains an Allow Quick Write setting that is not switched on. Claude Desktop accepts codeAllowedRepositories but does not apply it to on-device sessions yet. The memory dialog has a new cloud memory option that does nothing yet. A new check for one tool in a permission mode called arbiter stays off unless the server turns it on.
An MCP tool whose parameter description the API rejects no longer breaks the conversation. Claude Code now blanks that description, warns you and retries, so the tool stays callable. Starting with --worktree now loads plugin WorktreeCreate hooks first, so a plugin can handle worktree creation. Command hooks now stop when their configured timeout runs out. The CLAUDE_CODE_FORCE_SANDBOX environment variable is removed. Passing --sandbox or --no-sandbox to claude remote-control is now an error instead of being silently accepted.
